Oral Health Knowledge of Medical Professionals
This short survey has been developed to gain an understanding of oral health knowledge of recent UK Medical graduates. It should take no longer than 5 minutes to complete.

We are a group of hospital based Dental Core Trainees who have been working with Mini Mouth Care Matters. The aim of Mini Mouth Care Matters is to 'put the mouth back in the body' and develop mouth care for children and young people. We are now looking to gain an understanding of the oral health knowledge of medical professionals in patients of all ages.  We want to bridge the gap between medicine and dentistry and support medical professionals in understanding common oral problems their patients may face.

Please answer these questions based on your current knowledge as these answers will help us formulate recommendations for undergraduate training and learning resources for medical graduates. If you completed a dental degree prior to medicine please do not complete the survey.

All responses are anonymous.

Thank you for your participation.
